EPISODE 9
You're not gonna say this is a mistake too, right?
I'll be paying you for that kiss with another kiss. And here it is.
Wait, what's going on here?
First of all,
I want to apologize.
-What? -You already know by now,
but I'm not President Kang.
I'm his secretary. Cha Sung-hoon's my name.
-What? -I just wanna tell you,
President Kang wants to marry someone else.
And it is for this reason that I am here before you instead of…
Once again, sorry.
Hello? Good morning.
You're finally awake. Did you sleep well?
Yeah. Did you sleep well?
Unfortunately, no.
Why not?
I was counting the hours till I see you.
What are you saying?
Let's go on a date before we go to work. I'm waiting out front.
Huh?
Are you sure? It's gonna take a while for me to get dressed.
Yes, I'm sure. Take your time, I can wait.
Oh, yeah.
Ha-ri, I really wanna see you now.
Seriously?
How do you expect me to take my time
when you tell me you wanna see me now that way?
Ah!
Are you all right? You need medication?
Ah. No, I'm okay. No need for that.
I'll be fine after having some soup.
-It's hot! -Try this.
So, did you drink a lot yesterday?
Let's say my colleagues are heavy drinkers.
Wow. I gotta say, this soup is great. You're pretty good at cooking.
They're actually from the company. I'm terrible at cooking.
President Kang is much better than me.
Oh, right. Speaking of that guy. He went on a blind date with Yoo-jung?
He already has Ha-ri now, doesn't he?
What's wrong with that guy?
Well, Young-seo, actually--
Ah! Could I be any more dumb?
I forgot I had a meeting this morning.
I need to get going. Thanks for the meal. Really enjoyed it.
Good luck with your business trip. I'll text you later.
Text me, too!
Oh.
This place is always jam-packed.
I didn't know they were open at this hour.
I talked to the owner. He's my friend.
Please, sit.
Thank you.
I have a business trip to the U.S.,
so I thought we'd have breakfast before I leave.
Wait for me here.
Wait a minute. Don't tell me you're going to cook for us.
Yeah. This place is famous for its brunch, and it was my idea.
I'll make you the original version, so wait here.
Uh…
I'm a bit worried already.
What if you like it too much and have me make it every day?
Thanks for this. I appreciate it.
Why aren't you eating?
It's just so pretty. I wanna take a picture first.
I did all the hard work. What about me?
So sorry about this.
So clumsy.
Hey, Shin Ha-ri, your shoes…
What about my shoes?
Hmm…
So you wanted to see me so bad that you grabbed any shoe on your way out?
I…
That's not what hap…
And now that I look at it, your earrings too.
Don't tell me these too?
No, I mean, they look nice on you.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Yeah.
Okay, fine. I'll be honest with you.
I'm so nervous right now, I put on two different shoes.
I'm not even sure I can properly eat what you made me, and also…
I don't usually get nervous, but I'm nervous right now.
I look pretty stupid, don't I?
Why kill me? Stop that.
What do you mean by that?
You're acting so cute right now.
My heart just skipped a beat.
W… what are you doing?
Nothing, it's just my face is turning red.
Oh, would you stop looking at me? I'm embarrassed.
We'll get there on time if we leave now.
No, let's go to work separately.
Why? How about I drop you off by the building?
It's fine. What if someone sees me getting out of your car?
The office is far from here.
I said it's fine. I can take the bus.
You be careful when driving.
You know, this was the best morning that I ever had in my whole life.
-Ms. Kim, good morning. -Good morning.
Oh, morning.
Hi.
Oh. Why are you two coming into work together?
We met in front of the building.
Yeah, that's right. Just this morning.
The whole room smelled like grapefruit as you guys came in.
Well, it's not me.
Ms. Yeo, I can smell it on you.
Mr. Gye smells like grapefruit. You both do.
You two must use the same shampoo.
Oh, really? Well, what a bummer. You should change your shampoo.
I could say the same thing to you.
I should wash my hair again. Yeah, that's right.
So what if you're using the same shampoo? I think you guys are overreacting.
I guess.
Oh, right! Ms. Shin, congratulations.
-Huh, on what? -Your comment on NerdTube.
Don't tell me you don't know. That video was bomb!
It's a huge hit, sir.
-Is that so? -Yes.
It's all because Ms. Shin mentioned we don't use any artificial coloring.
Our sales increased by 20 percent.
Really?
So…
did you have a good time with Ms. Shin yesterday?
I'm not telling you. You're not even telling me who you're dating.
All right. I'll get going then, sir.
Oh, yeah. I need you to get some heels.
Get me a…
a size six, please.
What? What do you need the heels for?
-Who's going to wear them? -Hmm…
My girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
No way.
Is Ms. Shin Ha-ri here?
That's me.
-How can I help you, sir? -I have a gift sent by your boyfriend.
You have a boyfriend?
Could you sign here, please?
What is it? Let us see. There's no way you're getting out of this.
Ms. Shin, are you dating someone?
What did he send you? Come on. Let me see.
Here we go.
Huh? They're heels.
Oh, yeah. I remember you were complaining that your shoes didn't match.
Ms. Shin, does your boyfriend know? Is that why he sent this to you?
Ah! Young-seo sent me these heels.
You see, earlier I texted her that my shoes were mismatched
so she pranked me and sent these.
Oh. The daughter of the president of Marine Group?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Oh, that's a shame.
That makes sense. These are really expensive.
These rich people, I tell you.
Let's get to work.
Based on our sales report, the white kimchi ravioli
is our current top selling product.
This was developed by Ms. Shin Ha-ri and Chef Lee Min-woo.
Also, because of Ms. Shin's comment on NerdTube
quickly gaining traction online, there's a huge…
If I didn't have that business trip,
I'd go out with Ms. Shin.
Should I reschedule? I probably shouldn't.
I should still go. How excruciating.
President Kang, I'm sorry, but is there something wrong with the report?
Oh.
No, it's perfect. Please continue.
Well, this is new. Usually, you wear slippers at work.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
This is tiring. Hmm?
We have to develop a new product apart from our existing ones?
Why is the company making us work so much?
You're all working hard.
Working hard, sir?
Why yes, we are.
There's no greater joy than to work for you.
After all, this company is like family.
-What brings you to our department? -I have something to say…
to Ms. Shin Ha-ri.
Oh me?
Well, what do… what do you need from me?
I heard your schedule's pretty tight because of the video shoot.
Oh, right, right, right.
That's why I made adjustments. I wrote it down during our meeting.
You remember the Bucket List Fish?
HA-RI! MS. SHIN
So about that, I was thinking--
President Kang, are you all right?
Ms. Shin, what do you think you're doing?
No, I saw a fly. Didn't you see it?
-I didn't see a fly. -It was here.
There are no insects here. The sanitation policy is strict.
No, she's right. I saw the fly too. There it is.
You'll be late for your flight. Let's go.
I will email you the schedule soon, Ms. Shin.
-Mr. Lee will let you know! -Okay.
A fly?
-I can't see it. -No, that's impossible.
There's no way a fly could get in here.
Enough about that. Wasn't President Kang acting weird?
He was too happy and kept smiling while he was talking to Ms. Shin.
Of course he'd smile at her.
Sales went up because of her comment.
Who wouldn't be happy about that?
True.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm sure he can't help but smile at me like that.
You saw that?
Someone's feeling a little smug for winning his favor.
You're right.
I'm right.
-Pleasure working with you. -The pleasure's mine. Thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
I wonder what time it is in Seoul right now.
It should be around eight.
So she just got out of work?
Honestly, I really don't know anymore.
I think it's best if you decide what to do about that.
PRESIDENT KANG
Let me take care of it. So I was thinking…
Oh, hey, Ms. Shin. There's no toilet paper in the restroom.
What, Ms. Shin? What?
I just got surprised.
Go ahead and smoke, Mr. Bin.
I cannot catch a break.
Why isn't she picking up?
She should be home by now.
I know things didn't work out with Ms. Yoo-jung,
so stop stalling and go out on those blind dates I set up.
Don't use your business trips as an excuse not to.
He's bugging me to go on dates again.
What if I just flat out tell him that I'm seeing Ms. Shin?
Then you should…
explain that Shin Ha-ri and Shin Geum-hui are the same person
and also everything else that happened until now.
You think you'll be okay?
Mr. Cha! Are you busy?
Why aren't you checking my texts?
Please text me back when you're free.
Pretty please.
That's odd.
I thought I ended things that day. So why is she doing this?
I just wanna tell you, President Kang wants to marry someone else.
I'm very sorry.
Oh, my God.
This is destiny.
It's definitely fate.
What?
What do you mean? Are you--
I mean, that guys like you are totally my type.
How about this? Go out on a date with me.
Oh, that…
Sorry, but I don't think I can.
Why not? Am I not your type? Are you already married?
No, not married.
But I do have a girlfriend.
Who cares?
So long as you're not married yet, then it's fine.
I'll give up if you don't like me even after a few dates.
Okay?
I still can't date you.
Again, I'm very sorry.
Oh, come on.
Hello, Ms. Jin.
You must be busy with work, right?
Even so, don't forget to take a break and eat.
He's ignoring my texts. Is he really that busy?
Yes, yes. I have to go now. I'll call you later, 'kay?
Will you look at that, you can wear something
that totally doesn't resemble what I'm wearing.
YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE
I'm on a business trip.
I'll text you when I get back, so please stop messaging me.
You too, Ms. Jin. Don't skip your meals.
He said he'll text me when he gets back.
That's great.
Did something good happen? You seem to be in high spirits.
I could say the same thing.
It looks like something good happened to you, too.
Haven't I told you the good news yet?
I'm dating someone.
I have a boyfriend.
Really?
Oh, my!
Oh, my, same here!
Mother! Father!
Congratulations, you are now healthy and back home.
Oh, no, Young-seo, there's no need to bow like that.
No, it's just that I didn't get to visit you in the hospital.
It's fine. We both know you're busy with work.
-Mom, did we have guests? -Yeah.
Your dad's friends from his hiking club and also my friends came.
Oh, that's right, Ha-ri.
People came up to me. They were asking for your signature.
You remember Dong-cheol's son.
He became a huge fan of yours after seeing your video.
Dad, I don't have fans.
Come on, of course you have fans.
You're even doing an interview. She's doing it with Min-woo.
Oh, an interview?
Oh, that sounds impressive.
It's hardly impressive.
Our marketing team set up that interview for us.
And I'm sure the article will be short, anyway.
Oh, yeah, why haven't I seen Min-woo these days?
Is he really that busy?
Yeah, I guess so.
Oh, I almost forgot. It's time for my favorite show.
Change the channel, dear.
Gosh, I thought you were in pain or something.
-We usually watch this show. -Huh? You watch this, Dad?
Oh!
You watch this show, too?
I heard the plot is out of this world.
He watched the original broadcasts, even all the reruns.
Now I can't get him to stop. He likes it even more than I do.
BE STRONG, GEUM-HUI CAFE DE GO
Hey, Ha-ri.
That's the cafe that your company launched, right?
What the hell? Is that how you do your product placements?
Also, what kind of rich person goes to some coffee chain shop
just to pick up their own coffee?
It makes no sense at all, right, Young-seo?
Do you think rich people aren't normal?
Take a look at Young-seo.
She goes to our restaurant and eats at a tteokbokki place here.
Is that so?
That's because Young-seo's special.
Come on, someone's trying to watch the show now.
Yeah, okay.
Chairman Kang goes to steamed bun places on the street, too.
You got some red bean on your teeth.
Oh, really?
I think I already saw this part yesterday.
Ms. Chae-Rim, you… you said that you wanted to talk about something.
Oh, my, so President Kang hasn't told you, either.
Kids these days.
You know…
apparently…
Yoo-jung and Tae-moo are dating.
What?
Are you sure they're dating?
Yes, absolutely.
Yoo-jung made it clear.
She said she's so busy dating these days.
Wait a minute.
Are you absolutely sure that she's dating Tae-moo?
A hundred percent sure.
So we have to talk now, before people start talking about it.
For starters, why don't we start preparing for the wedding?
What?
Hey there, it's been a while.
Yeah, long time no see.
Ha-ri, I'm sorry about that day.
I think I was out of line because I got so worried about you.
I just wanna apologize.
It's okay.
For my part, I think I overreacted.
And I know it might have come to you as a shock.
So what are you gonna do now? I mean, with President Kang.
Well, we…
decided we'll give it a shot.
Oh.
Is that so?
Of course, like you said, there's a chance
it might not work out between us.
But I didn't wanna have any regrets.
Let's move on to the next question.
So, Ms. Shin Ha-ri, you're famous for this "President Kang Watching" meme.
Did President Kang really see it?
Yes, I believe he did.
If he saw it, did he offer a bonus or something?
-Oh, no, he didn't. -Nothing?
What a cheapskate.
Oh, my.
Ms. Shin, I just have to ask,
is he… is he really that good looking?
Because I've only ever seen him in pictures.
Oh…
Well, I'm not too sure about that.
I figured. You keep asking the hard questions, Ms. Reporter.
President Kang.
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm one of the reporters of Estien. My name's Hwang Bo-ra.
It's nice to meet you.
Here.
It's been a while, you two.
Since you're here, could you spare a moment and let me interview--
I'm sorry, but President Kang's busy.
A question or two is fine. What do you wanna ask, Ms. Hwang?
My question for you is similar to the one I just asked Ms. Shin.
Because of what she's done, will you be giving her a bonus?
Yes, of course.
I need to keep my promise as president.
And by the way, Ms. Shin…
-how about dinner with me today? -What?
This is interesting. You just asked her out.
Could you keep me in the loop? What's going on?
We had a sports competition, Ms. Shin was chosen as the MVP
-and won a chance to eat dinner with me. -I see.
So how about it? Let's have dinner later.
Do you have the time?
Yes, I'll see you later.
So, where are you meeting President Kang?
I bet it's a fancy restaurant. Where is he taking you?
I'm sure it's somewhere expensive.
I'm not sure. He didn't exactly tell me.
Hmm, the restaurant doesn't matter.
Just imagine eating dinner with a guy like President Kang.
Oh, sounds like a romantic night out.
Oh, I doubt it'll be.
You'll probably choke a seed because it's awkward.
I was going to come get you. Get in.
Oh. All right.
Door closing.
What? Hey, what are you? Get in.
I just got back to my apartment.
I'm almost there, too. Do you wanna have dinner together?
Sure thing.
I'll be waiting, then.
Yeah.
Long time no see, Mr. Cha.
It's you. Director Cho, what are you doing here?
Hey, we're living in the information age.
You can find out anything if you put your mind to it.
Oh!
Mr. Cha.
Why won't you like me back?
Look, I already told you the last time we met,
I'm not interested in dating you.
You think I'm gonna give up on you?
Well, you've got it wrong!
Give me a chance.
Please learn to like me, too.
A… Are you feeling okay?
Mr. Cha, it's me.
Open the door.
You're here.
I thought you'd wanna eat at home, so I bought some groceries.
We can't cook at my place tonight, 'cause it's a bit of a mess,
so yours will do.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Oh, why not? Your place is better than mine anyway, so it's okay.
What was that noise?
President Kang just dropped by.
Mr. Kang Tae-moo?
So it's him over me again?
I'll call you as soon as he leaves.
I just have to talk to him tonight.
Come on. Let's go. Okay.
I'll call you soon, okay? Right.
-Okay. You'll call me, right? -Yes, I will.
As soon as he's gone.
In any case, I'm starting to like Kang Tae-moo less and less.
TTEOKBOKKI, FRIES, SUNDAE, FISH CAKES MATNA SNACK BAR
You sure this is the place? You really wanna go here?
Yeah.
What are you doing? Let's go inside.
Are you kidding me right now?
It's our first date in a while, though.
This isn't a date. This is you having dinner with an employee.
And that's a perfect excuse for a date.
I have to say, it felt really good to say it in front of other people.
Honestly, I found that even thrilling.
Do you know how freaked out I was when you said that?
Everyone came out the minute they heard.
I was just happy to see you after such a long time.
Are you that upset?
I'm not.
I just meant we should be more careful when we're at work, when it's about us.
Is that why you kept ignoring my calls?
Treating your boyfriend like you would a spam caller?
No, I mean…
What should I do, then?
Should I go around the office
telling people I'm dating the president. Is that it?
You're here. It's been a while.
Hi, auntie, have you been doing well?
Of course.
Oh, my, who is this? I've never seen him before.
Oh, he's our company's…
He's my boyfriend.
What?
And since when did you get such a cute boyfriend?
How cute is this.
I'll give you free sundaes, on the house.
Oh, no, auntie, you don't have to.
But thank you.
What about us?
Why is she the only one who gets a free sundae?
We want some, too.
Yeah, give us free sundae.
All right, kids, listen!
Since the owner is treating us to free sundae,
let me pay for everything you're gonna eat tonight.
How's that?
I'll contact you tomorrow, then. Bye.
Sorry about that. I keep getting business calls.
Why? What's so funny?
The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.
You see, all my life I've never seen anyone
pay for everyone's meal so casually.
It was my first time too,
paying that much money at a tteokbokki place.
Did you eat that much when you were in high school too, Ms. Shin?
I'm not telling you.
Well, anyway, it felt really good…
when the owner asked about me, and you said I was your boyfriend.
You honestly think I want to keep our relationship a secret?
"President Kang is my boyfriend."
I wanna say that.
I wanna proudly shout it to the whole world.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I've been wanting to do something from a while back.
May I do it, Ms. Shin?
What?
You had some sauce on your cheek, so I was going to wipe it for you.
Why'd you close your eyes?
Because they were a little itchy.
If he is dating Yoo-jung,
then why wouldn't he tell me about it?
-Why are you staring at me? -What?
No, no, never mind.
It's really nothing.
Could it be he's embarrassed because it hasn't been long
since he and Ms. Geum-hui broke up?
Maybe for the time being, I should pretend I know nothing.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you scared me.
What is it?
Spare me a minute.
I just need to talk to you about something, please.
Uh… I don't think our relationship is one where we talk to each other like this.
I know, but I don't have anyone to talk to!
You know I have no friends at all!
Okay, okay, okay. Let's talk.
Seriously.
All right, what's wrong?
So, remember that guy I told you about?
It's over now!
Huh? It hasn't even been that long. Why?
I went to his place yesterday, drunk, and I did something stupid!
Well, you do cause a scene when you're drunk.
Why did you do that?
Because…
he's always drawing the line when it comes to me.
-Line? -Just keep this
between you and me, but that guy, he's different from us.
And by that, I mean he's just an average guy.
This is the first time I liked someone
without caring about his family, his background, and his assets.
But now…
it's the end!
It's game over now!
So that's it? You're just gonna give up?
Hmm?
Where is the Yoo-jung I've always known?
You're not the type to ever give up. And if they still don't like you back,
you do everything you can to get them to like you. Am I right?
You're right.
Actually, I had to be assertive with my boyfriend too to get him,
because he kept drawing the line with me too,
and it happened more than once.
Are you kidding? Really?
It's true.
Oh, my God!
So, what you should do is apologize to him and try to make it work.
You got this. Fight it, girl!
Fight it!
We got this!
Oh, my gosh, thank you, girl.
-Yeah, so you do that. -Mm.
Wow.
Sorry I'm late. There were so many customers.
It seemed busier than usual today.
Is it because of the article?
-Did you read it? -Of course.
You looked good in the picture.
Then there were comments. Lots of them saying how you two looked good together.
People like to say irrelevant things online.
You're right.
Right,
how's your sched this weekend? And are you free?
-This weekend? Why? -My parents would like to talk to us.
They're worried about us.
We keep breaking up, then we get back together.
And to be honest, I also feel like it's about time that we tie the knot.
Why aren't you saying anything?
About meeting your parents, can we put it off?
Work's keeping me real busy these days,
and frankly speaking…
I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
Did something happen yesterday?
What? Why, sir?
Well, you look a bit pale.
Did something happen between you and Ms. Jin?
Actually, I have something to…
Why?
What is it?
It's like you've seen a ghost.
Huh?
Mr. Cha.
And you are…
Why, hello there.
My name is Jo Yoo-jung. I was the one you were
supposed to go on a date with, in case you didn't know.
I see. What brings you here?
Okay.
I'll tell you. You see…
You, Kang Tae-moo, were the one that I was supposed to date,
but Mr. Cha came in your stead
and I couldn't help but fall in love with him.
But Mr. Cha wouldn't reciprocate my feelings,
so I went to his house yesterday while I was drunk and I was crying.
Oh, no! Don't try to avoid me! Don't try to avoid me!
I thought about it, and I know I made a big mistake.
That's why I'm here. Because I want to apologize in person.
What is going on here?
Ch… chairman Kang.
Grandfather.
So you're saying, this lady here is Ms. Jo Yoo-jung.
And instead of you, Tae-moo,
Sung-hoon went on that date to meet her?
Sir, I can explain--
Oh, my God.
I swear, my timing is always off when it comes to these things.
What the hell?
Tae-moo, you little brat!
Oh, no! No, no, no!
-Come here! -Grandfather! Calm down!
-I'm Sung-hoon! -Calm down, Grandfather!
-You went instead of him? -Calm down, sir.
Tae-moo, I can't…
So tell me…
you've been seeing someone all this time.
Now tell me about her.
What?
What do you mean, "This woman?"
Do you think I don't know what you've been doing?
I hear you calling her every night, so be straight with me, boy.
If it's not Ms. Jo, then who's this person you're dating?
-I, uh, Grandfather-- -Let me guess.
You're seeing Ms. Geum-hui again, is that right?
Why are you quiet? Say something.
Oh, it hurts. My stomach is hurting.
What is happening?
Are you feeling ill, sir?
This brat here is making me worry! Who wouldn't feel ill?
No, it's because of the new project.
You've been trying too much of cold drinks lately.
Just button it, kid!
Tae-moo.
I need to use the restroom right now.
Choose any floor. Push the button and stop the elevator.
FOOD PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM 1
Here, Ms. Yeo, I have the data you asked for.
Hmm.
Oh, Ms. Shin's proposal was chosen for our newest product!
Yeah.
Look, Mr. Gye. Your proposal was good, no doubt,
but you see, three years ago,
another company came out with the same product which they sold.
Which is why I didn't include yours,
because I don't want people to think that we're copy-cats.
So don't be too sad about this.
That's true. These days, when someone says something wrong
they really come after you.
We need to be careful.
Yeah, whatever.
Okay, I understand.
You know what you're doing. I'm sure you made the best decision.
YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE
M… Mr. Gye, what did you just text?
What is it?
You're being so harsh, babe.
Are you saying I did it on purpose? You made me look bad in front of Ms. Kim.
You sent this in the group chat?
Don't tell me you two are da… dating?
No, this is…
I was going to say something else, but instead I typed "babe."
I don't know anymore!
Wait, babe!
I mean, "hey."
Mr. Gye!
Oh.
What's this, Mr. Gye?
What's he talking about?
Wait, Mr. Gye.
Stop running away! Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
No, let go!
It hurts so much!
How am I… how am I supposed to come to work?
Mr. Gye!
Wait, Ms. Yeo…
Ms. Yeo, that's the men's restroom.
Oh, come on.
Calm down. Let's talk. Hey!
-I don't wanna talk with you! -For crying out loud.
I wanna be alone!
Ms. Yeo, get out! What if someone sees you right now?
I mean, seriously…
-Oh my! Ms. Yeo, are you all right? -She's so strong!
-Are you okay? -You bastard, get back here!
Damn it.
-This way, chairman. -I know where the restroom is…
Chairman Kang?
Now move. You're blocking the entrance.
What's this?
Why is there a woman's shoe in the men's restroom?
You're right. Why is this here?
Wait a minute. A woman's shoe…
that means that there's a woman in here.
Are you in there? Who are you?
Come on now, say something.
Huh?
I was right.
But wait, what's a woman doing inside the men's restroom?
She must have gone in my mistake.
And she might be too tensed to say anything.
Why don't we just go to another restroom?
No way!
The person who shouldn't be in here should go. Why should I leave?
Come on.
Before it gets even more embarrassing. Get out of there.
I'm sorry, Chairman.
Oh, God.
Why would you go inside the men's restroom…
Wait a minute, Shin Ha-ri?
Oh!
You're the one who shoved me into the restroom the other day.
Right, it's you again!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I mean, what are you doing inside the men's restroom again?
Okay, just get out, will you?
Hurry up!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
This woman is unbelievable.
LETTER OF APOLOGY NAME: SHIN HA-RI
This is insane. Why did Chairman Kang have to go to that restroom?
Yeah, she's right. I mean, that's… very unfortunate.
Ms. Shin is in this situation because of you two.
So how long have you two been dating?
Babe, you can tell…
Sorry, I mean, Ms. Yeo can tell you.
It started…
on the day of the sports competition.
After the event, the two of us went out for a couple of drinks.
What? A blind date?
Okay, fine. If that's what you want.
Goodbye.
I'm so stressed.
Didn't you say you can't eat chicken gizzards?
You gave them to me to eat before. What are you doing?
You're going on a date this weekend. Then why would I save them for you?
What are you saying?
What do chicken gizzards have to do with going on a date?
You think I gave them to you because I don't want to eat them?
I like chicken gizzards and spicy marinated crabs.
But, Ms. Yeo, I pretended not to like them…
because you like them so much.
Really?
But you still haven't noticed any of that and you're going on a date.
The alcohol has gotten to you.
I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.
Hey, Yeo Ui-joo…
I'm not drunk yet,
so listen to me closely.
Don't go…
on that date.
Stop, stop! I heard enough!
Stop talking. I can't listen anymore.
No need to act that way. My goodness.
Hey, Ms. Shin.
Couldn't you just say you went in by accident?
I mean, you can just write that in your report.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna do. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Ms. Shin.
In return, I will buy you high quality beef.
-You like that? -Yeah.
Now I'm hated even worse.
Today, I accidentally…
Today I accidentally made a great mistake of going into the men's restroom,
because I was too distracted looking at my phone.
I deeply regret causing Chairman Kang great mental distress,
and I am humbly submitting this letter of apology, as I promise
that I will never use my phone ever again while I walk around the building.
So are you happy now, Grandpa. She wrote a letter of apology.
It's because you let her go just like that.
I was going to give her a piece of my mind.
That girl really needs a good scolding.
Um, it seems like a harmless mistake, Chairman.
I think it's best to let it go.
Well, mistake or not,
I just hate that I keep running into that girl.
I don't like it.
I hate it!
I said I'll treat you to a good dinner. Don't go.
No, it's fine. I don't feel like drinking.
Since when did you need to feel like drinking to drink?
-Let's go, Ms. Shin. -Come on.
Why are you all being like this?
Let's go to So's tonight. I think they have the best food.
Yeah.
Beef will make you feel good, unlike what the chairman did.
I can't believe he made you write an apology letter for that.
Yeah, eat to feel better.
It's settled. Let's go!
Hello, President Kang.
What's this? Are you all going somewhere?
Yeah.
-The enoki mushrooms are burning. -Hmm?
Here.
My bad.
Uh, I know you're busy President Kang, but I still can't believe
that you'd be willing to go to a barbecue place with us
and grill meat like this.
Please leave. Everyone is feeling uncomfortable because of you.
Am I making everyone uncomfortable?
Oh, no, not at all. Uncomfortable? Why would we be?
-Don't worry. This is not awkward at all. -Oh, wait…
Your spoon.
President Kang, may I say something, please?
What is it?
Everyone's awkward because this is our first team dinner with you,
that's why we can't help but feel that way.
How about we each have a bomb shot, sir?
-Huh? -Come on, Ms. Kim.
Bomb shots with President Kang in this place, that's a little too cheap.
If you must know, I like bomb shots.
-Open it. -Okay.
-Shake it. -You guys…
Huh?
A WORKER'S GUIDE TO LIFE 1. HOW TO MIX BOMB SHOTS
Oh.
Behold the drink that I made myself.
It took my blood, sweat and tears
just to make this special drink…
Ready?
The Dynamite Drink!
Boom!
Don't be shy. Give it a try!
Chug, chug it!
Yeah, okay. I'll be there in about ten minutes.
Oh, my God.
I'll see you later.
What do you want now?
It's all your fault!
Wait a sec. What did I do?
I took your advice.
I went to his workplace to apologize in person.
I'm screwed. I don't know what to do!
Are you feeling nervous?
Yes. I'm introducing my girlfriend for the first time and all.
Oh, stop.
You being like that is making me all nervous ,too.
Oh, wait here. I'll just go to the restroom, okay?
Sure, go ahead.
Mr. Cha! Sorry, you've been waiting, right?
Something came up as I was on my way out.
It's all right.
-Uh, about today-- -So, I came here with someone else.
Who is it?
She got rejected by some guy, and she wouldn't stop crying.
I couldn't just leave her by herself.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I really didn't want to be alone today,
so I went with her, even though I know that it's rude…
What the.
Oh, Jesus!
What? What's wrong?
So your boyfriend is Mr. Cha?
Wait a second,
so that guy that you like…
I had no idea it was her.
Then you should have told me from the very beginning, you jerk!
I did. I told you "I have a girlfriend," remember?
Wait, Young-seo!
Oh, my.
What's going on here?
-Wait here, I'll be right back, Mother. -What?
Young-seo.
Young-seo!
Don't storm out like that.
Allow me to explain.
Yesterday…
you said that Kang Tae-moo dropped by, but was it actually Yoo-jung?
About that…
Yes. But listen, this is what happened earlier.
I went on that blind date to reject her for President Kang--
Then Yoo-jung got obsessed with you and started bothering you,
and now everything's messed up. Was that it? Did I get it right?
-Yes, that's right. -Do you not see what's wrong with this?
What?
You shouldn't have gone to that blind date in the first place.
You shouldn't have let Yoo-jung into your house, either.
Wait, no.
That day you should have told me the truth from the very beginning.
Sorry. This is all my fault. I wasn't thinking then.
I… I didn't know things would turn out this bad--
Do you know what's most infuriating?
It's your attitude, Sung-hoon. You've been ignoring me
and have only been listening to Kang Tae-moo.
Are you that family's servant or something?
Young-seo…
Hey.
Are you okay? It looked like you had a lot to drink tonight.
No, I didn't. I drank way less than I usually do.
Oh, yeah?
Okay, so tell me what happens…
when you've had too much to drink?
Stop it.
Oh.
About your grandfather…
is he still angry at me for what happened?
He's still mad, huh?
Oh, damn. I knew it.
Don't worry about it too much.
He'll be okay in no time.
How could I not worry about it?
He's your grandfather after all.
And he's the person you love the most in this world.
Naturally, I'd want him to like me.
Wow.
Whoa.
Do you know as you said that…
you looked so damn pretty?
Okay!
Let's go. People are waiting. Let's get outta here.
Oh, dang. I sprayed too much.
I'm sorry.
Not sure if it's you who's spinning, Ms. Kim or my eyes.
-Oh, my. -Ms. Yeo, no fair.
Why are you drinking so little? Drink some more.
Hey there. One more round. One more.
And then, karaoke.
What do you think?
Good idea.
-President Kang, you're going too, right? -Wouldn't miss it.
I'll pay for all our drinks.
This one and the next round.
President Kang!
Three beats per measure. Three beats per measure.
-President Kang! -President Kang!
Three beats per measure.
Okay, empty the cup. Empty it.
Right.
What are you guys doing holding hands?
Sorry, who's holding who's hand?
President Kang…
and Ms. Shin.
They were just holding hands. I saw it.
I'll check again.
They're not holding hands anymore.
She's as drunk as drunk gets.
Why would President Kang and Ms. Shin be holding hands?
It's not like they're dating or anything.
Yeah, right.
'Cause the ones who are really dating are Mr. Gye and Ms. Yeo.
So you two…
are dating?
Yeah.
For a while now.
You should go home. You're just spewing nonsense.
Go home.
No, I'm pretty sure I saw you holding hands.
I'm sure of it!
Let's go. Go!
Time to end this. Come on!
I swear I saw it.
I really saw it.
I'm not lying. You two are dating.
Why are you being a pain in the ass tonight?
I'm sorry, President Kang.
It's perfectly all right.
It must be the alcohol talking.
Anyway, should I call a taxi, then?
No, no, no. There's a lot out on the main road.
President Kang, please get home safe.
We're going to defuse the bomb…
I mean, send her home before we go home ourselves.
-Goodbye, everyone. -Yes, sir. Let's go.
-Ms. Shin, you? -What?
Oh, I forgot. You go the other way, is that right?
Right. Right. Yes.
I hope you guys get home safe.
Everyone is in a relationship.
Everyone except for me!
Shut up!
She loves public speaking.
Keep quiet.
What?
What on earth is going on here?
Wanna go for a walk? Sober up a bit?
Okay then. Shall we?
What do you think you two are doing over there?
